Mr.. and Mrs. Chas McNair have the
teuderest sympathy of many W 'rm friends
in their sad bereavement. Their little
baby girl, after lifetime of suffering
and pain, was released from its SORROWS
on last Friday night. Everything was
done that human foresight conld suggest
to lengthen the stay of this precious child,
bnt now the mothers loving arms are
empty and sorrowing hearts call out for
the tiny, pretty baby that brought them
only good. Rev. C. r. Dudley tenderIy
conducted the funeral obsequies and a
large conconrse of friends witnessed the
bu, ial of The treasure that left behind 1t
such deep sorrow to such young, untried
hearts.
A stranger from the North asked if the
cars lad not just right lately commenced
running through Brookhaven for the first
time. He was assured that trains had
been running through here ever since
1857, and asked the reason for his qnes-
ton. simply" he replied. "because
there is always such big crowd turns
out at the Brookhaven depot every time
a train passes, who look like they never
SAW a train of cars before. l have trav.
eled from Maine to California several
times and never yet saw town the size
of Brookhayen that could turn out such d
crowd ut every train that passes"
